Elon Musk vs. Bond villains.

[plimsoll]

My son and I were talking about Elon yesterday and realized that he's not even a very good villain. Most Bond villains had a plan and that plan almost worked, with Musk it's hard if not impossible to tell if there's a plan. Sure he's got the money and if he bought a boiler suit and got a cat he'd be able to pull of the look, but Blofeld was clearly a better strategist. It's like he's trying to play the minion and the mastermind at the same time and can't manage either one.

1. He has a plan. Right now it is Re-platform neo-nazis, and hire a has-been 'journalist' to write

MAGA fan-fiction. He’s attempting to recreate the fantastic success of Truth Social. /s

You are absolutely right, Bond villains are much smarter. Musk’s plan is gonna to cause even more advertisers away. Not smart.

2. OK, I should say workable plan.

3. He does share a trait with Bond villains

in that they never just shot James Bond when they had him; their elaborate death plans always went awry. Musk, too, seems unable to just pull the trigger.

4. 14 year olds in Mom's basement rarely have plans beyond....

"Wouldn't it be cool if (insert idea that's been tried before, unworkable or impossible in this physical universe)". That pretty much sums up Man-Child's plan from day 1.

5. Musk could be both. A bumbling idiot and an evil genius.

People in real life are usually more complex than fictional characters.

But we don't really know yet. We are just midway through the movie.

6. Don't know about you, but I'd leave.

Plots too ridiculous.

7. Exactly. Current day events in the US as a movie would strain credulity.
